The Lean Project Leadership Model
The Lean Project Leadership Model is an approach to project execution that emphasizes continuous improvement, waste reduction, and increased organizational efficiency. It involves creating a culture of problem-solving, collaboration, and empowerment, where employees are encouraged to identify and eliminate waste, improve processes, and take ownership of their work. Lean leaders prioritize the development of their employees, providing training and support to help them grow and excel in their roles.
The model is based on one crucial belief: the leader's goal is to raise new leaders. To achieve this, the leadership strategy is built around the following five cornerstones:
-
Challenge: Encourage employees to feel challenged by their work to look for better ways of doing it.
-
Develop a continuous improvement mindset: Foster a mindset focused on continuous improvement.
-
Walk the talk: Engage with employees directly and understand their work environment.
-
Facilitate teamwork: Promote collaboration and teamwork among employees.
-
Show respect: Treat employees with respect and value their contributions.
By focusing on these principles, Lean leaders can create a sustainable and efficient work environment that continuously strives for excellence.
